just a basic stalker i drew when i wanted to practice some sitting/crouching poses. his AKS-74 is WAY too shrot though, i kinda screwed up there.

i've also been looking a lot into the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe recently, along with the 1979 film of the same name, and the novel "Roadside Picnic" it's kinda based on. pretty cool stuff, i've always been more interested in Russia's perception of a postapocalyptic scenario.

As a post-apocalyptic FPS with horror and survival aspects, S.T.A.L.K.E.R games should appeal to me but I've never been able to get into them for some reason. Still, nice work on the crouching pose: right leg looks a bit wide but I imagine that's just our perspective on the somewhat baggy trousers. I've seen that gas-mask before but I can't quite place it: Russian civilian model?

back in the 1977 novel and the 1979 movie they were called stalkers and even some of the actual people who worked on cleaning up Chernobyl were nicknamed stalkers. it was only until the video games came out when it turned into an acronym.
